You are developing a theme for a client and want the client to have more flexibility and access to a multitude of existing styles, after you've completed the project and handed it off.
You are a contrib theme developer who wants to provide multiple styles and allow the site administrator to be able to choose where to apply them.
You are a rebel who wants to rip out CSS classes in every possible template file and use your own instead, but need a better way to add your own classes back to Drupal.
